Hi all, We're working on the problem in HIVE-984 which a number of people have been hitting, and with luck we'll have a resolution within the next week or so. To address it, we're setting up mirror.facebook.net<http://mirror.facebook.net> to serve the Hadoop versions needed by Hive, with better availability and reliability than archive.apache.org<http://archive.apache.org>. Once we've got that deployed and tested out, I'll submit a patch to build.properties to point hadoop.mirror to the new location.
For now, if you need to get unblocked, use the workaround documented by Carl in the comments of that JIRA issue: http://tinyurl.com/yajydoy Thanks for your patience, JVS
